Finished "Gut Shovel" Prototype!

[TwinStick]

You do stunning work. I would like to own one of your knives. Thick is good IMHO. Means I can wail on it with no worries.

 

[peter r]

were going to make kydex sheaths for these. this one being a proto will be leather.

 

[M67]

ha... you laugh but i was considering .40

That's more like it :thumbup:

 

[rkmoore]

Very impressive work. What grind on the edge and why?

 

[daug]

Pure Awesomeness!

 

[Tyronethepro]

Good Lord! I wish to be able to make blades like that some day! Very Very Very Nice work there.

 

[peter r]

grind on edge is 40degree flat. it is ridiculously sharp for such a deep angle. and its designed to be beaten so thats why i went with the steeper angle.

Out of curiosity, how much does this here Gut Shovel weigh?

 

[peter r]

it weighs exactly 18 oz.

 

[peter r]

when im done with tweaking the handle cutouts, i figure i can get her to 15 oz.

 

[ThePharce]

That would scare Rambo.

Hell, it would make Satan do a double take!

It looked a lot heavier than that but that is still quite the beast!!

Want that. Pretty much want everything you put up though. When are you going to come out to Colorado with a knife/gun show so I can meet you and check out these beauties in person!

Very nice! I really like it. Modern version of a big bowie. I'd like to stroll around with that baby tucked through my belt on an angle, at 6 o'clock, in a nice burly leather IWB sheath.
Two thumbs up! :thumbup: :thumbup:
